唐纳德·特朗普总统周日凌晨在一系列推文中攻击了迈克尔·布隆伯格，称这位总统候选人为“迷你迈克”，并指责他试图“操纵”民主党总统初选。
据特朗普称，布隆伯格“一事无成”，而且“只是在浪费自己的钱”，因为据披露，这位亿万富翁在晚些时候参加总统竞选后的两个月里花了自己2亿多美元纽约时报。
这一披露似乎促使特朗普在推特上瞄准彭博，指责他用巨额财富支付攻击性广告，并声称他是在“让民主党全国委员会操纵选举”反对伯尼·桑德斯。
“你正在看的许多广告都是由迷你迈克·布隆伯格付费的。他哪儿也不去，只是在浪费他的钱，但是他让民主党全国委员会操纵选举反对疯狂的伯尼，这是他们不会为@科里布克和其他人做的。特朗普在一条推文中写道:“2016年，他们又对伯尼这么做了。”。
在另一篇文章中，他补充道，“迷你迈克是假新闻的一部分。他们都在一起工作。事实上，彭博没有掩饰自己(太无聊了，做不到)，或者其他民主党人。只有特朗普。听起来很公平！这都是假新闻媒体，这就是为什么没有人再相信它们。”
在另一次对布隆伯格身高的挖掘中，特朗普还声称这位前纽约市长试图确保他在辩论中能够站在一个盒子上。
“迷你迈克现在正在谈判，既要进入民主党初选辩论阶段，也要在辩论期间有权站在包厢或电梯上。这是有时做的，但真的不公平！”特朗普写道。
据美联社报道，彭博向联邦选举委员会透露，他的竞选团队在电视广告上花费了1.32亿美元，在在线广告上花费了810万美元，在投票上花费了330万美元。
据路透社报道，彭博已经远远超过特朗普，特朗普的竞选团队报告称，自总统2017年1月再次当选以来，特朗普的支出约为1.48亿美元。周日晚上，彭博和特朗普将在超级碗期间播出的广告中对决。
新闻周刊联系白宫和彭博的竞选团队寻求评论。

DONALD TRUMP ATTACKS 'MINI MIKE' BLOOMBERG IN TWITTER TIRADE, SAYS 2020 CANDIDATE IS 'JUST WASTING HIS MONEY'
President Donald Trump attacked Michael Bloomberg in a series of tweets in the early hours on Sunday, referring to the presidential candidate as "Mini Mike" and accusing him of trying to "rig" the Democratic Party presidential primaries.
Trump claimed Bloomberg was "going nowhere" and "just wasting his money" as he lashed out at his rival following the revelation that the billionaire spent more than $200 million of his own money in the two months after his late entry into the race into the presidential race, according to The New York Times.
The revelation appeared to prompt Trump to target Bloomberg on Twitter, accusing him of using his vast fortune to pay for attack ads and claiming he was "getting the DNC to rig the election" against Bernie Sanders.
"Many of the ads you are watching were paid for by Mini Mike Bloomberg. He is going nowhere, just wasting his money, but he is getting the DNC to rig the election against Crazy Bernie, something they wouldn't do for @CoryBooker and others. They are doing it to Bernie again, 2016," Trump wrote in one tweet.
In another, he added, "Mini Mike is part of the Fake News. They are all working together. In fact, Bloomberg isn't covering himself (too boring to do), or other Dems. Only Trump. That sounds fair! It's all the Fake News Media, and that's why nobody believes in them any more."
In another dig at Bloomberg's height, Trump also claimed the former New York City mayor was trying to ensure he could stand on a box during debates.
"Mini Mike is now negotiating both to get on the Democrat Primary debate stage, and to have the right to stand on boxes, or a lift, during the debates. This is sometimes done, but really not fair!" Trump wrote.
Bloomberg's disclosure to the Federal Election Commission reveals his campaign spent $132 million on TV ads, $8.1 million on online ads and $3.3 million on polling, the Associated Press reported.
According to Reuters, Bloomberg has already far outspent Trump, whose campaign has reported spending about $148 million since the president launched his reelection in January 2017. On Sunday night, Bloomberg and Trump will face off in ads airing during the Super Bowl.
Newsweek contacted the White House and Bloomberg's campaign for comment.
